PM Modi’s ‘demographic mission’ against illegal immigration jolts TMC:
Reportedly, the West Bengal’s ruling party Trinamool Congress party feel apathetic to PM Modi’s announcement of a demographic mission to tackle the dangers of illegal immigration in border areas of the country.
The party also term
PM Independence Day announcement as “another jumla” to target a “new enemy” in the form of “infiltrators.
Trinamool Congress’ Rajya Sabha deputy leader Sagarika Ghose while belittling PM Modi in a post on X said Modi’s announcement of the new mission was an admission that his promise remains unfulfilled.
Adding that in 2014 manifesto, BJP pledged to address the issue of infiltration and illegal immigrants in the Northeast region on a priority basis, with clear policy directions and effective control at the ground level. Now, after 11 long years in power, PM Modi has again announced a new demographic mission to protect the country from the dangers posed by illegal immigrants.
The Rajya Sabha MP also criticized the Prime Minister for targeting past governments in his speech. “As usual, Modi uses his Independence Day speech to target a new enemy. After Andolanjeevis etc., now infiltrators is the new target. Again new missions announced while targeting past governments.
When will Modi give an August 15 address truthfully addressing his own record of 11 years marked by over-promising and under-achieving,” she added.
In his 12th consecutive speech from the Red Fort to mark India’s 79th Independence Day, PM Modi warned people of a premeditated conspiracy to change the country’s demography through illegal infiltration.
